R.I.P.D. is a 2013 wannabe summer blockbuster turned box office flop starring Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges that competes for the title of one of the worst studio movies ever made along with the likes of Gods of Egypt and Artemis Fowl and Green Lantern. And most of all, it's a movie you won't remember seeing -- which is weird because it features multiple distinct high-concept elements as the likes of Inception and Men In Black. So how come high-conceptual elements like such can just be forgotten? In today's Anatomy of a Failure, let's try to find out.

I remember watching it and enjoying it, but I didn't remember much about it other than the broad concept. I actually started watching it again a year ago, and got about ten minutes in before I remembered I'd watched it before. I'd agree, an enjoyable bit of fluff, classic popcorn movie. I think the concept could have been explored much more and made a richer movie, but eh, whatever. Sometimes you just want to veg out.

The scene where Nick gets hit by the car could have been: *gets hit* "H-hey, I'm alive... I'm still ALIVE!!.... Oh.. wait. Crap." As the realization hits that he's truly dead and then Roy can walk over to help him up saying, "Yep, there's a first time for everyone after crossing the threshold. And that there was yours. Still as dead as dead, kid, but we just keep kicking." Just some positive reaction and then that crestfallen moment when reality strikes because it failed to do anything. And then you could see moments later where there are either news articles or footage of the asian guy eating pavement because of the car. Yet he just gets up and walks it off and everyone is left wondering who this invincible or impossibly lucky individual is. Some kind of logical consequence and emotional reaction to it.

The problem is, Both R.I.P.D. and M.I.B. are based on comic book properties, they are both twists on buddy cop films, both have way too many similarities, so in R.I.P.D. they did things differently from M.I.B. to avoid being compared to it, but ultimately it was unavoidable.

It would've been much more emotionally hard hitting if the wife wanted him to keep the gold but he disagreed with her and it resulted in a big fight where he insults her and storms off to return it. Not something that would show her as a bad person, just as a person who understands that money can lead to security. Considering he'd die the same night after storming off it'd make his need to see her again and speak with her again that much more meaningful because dying after a huge fight is the single worst way to go out on a loved one.
